Evidence of amino acid diversity-enhancing selection within humans and among primates at the candidate sperm-receptor gene PKDREJ.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Jul 2007

Hamm David, Mautz Brian S, Wolfner Mariana F, Aquadro Charles F, Swanson Willie J

Abstract excerpt

Sperm-egg interaction is a crucial step in fertilization, yet the identity of most interacting sperm-egg proteins that mediate this process remains elusive. Rapid evolution of some fertilization proteins has been observed in a number of species, including evidence of positive selection in the evo...
